Report: President-Elect Trump Has ‘Lost Faith’ in the NRA


Former President Donald Trump speaks during the National Rifle Association Convention, Apr




A report by the New York Times (NYT) suggests President-elect Donald J. Trump has “lost faith” in the National Rifle Association (NRA).
According to the NYT, NRA First Vice President Bill Bachenberg used a letter to disclose, “I can say for a fact that President Trump and his most inner circle have lost faith in the NRA.”
Bachenburg also noted, “I communicate with them often. We have a tremendous amount of work to rebuild trust with them, just like our members and donors.”
The NYT pointed out that a sticking point for Trump appears to be the tens of millions of dollars the NRA has paid William A. Brewer III, an attorney who whose political donations “have favored Democrats over the years.
Trump spoke at the NRA’s Annual Meetings and Exhibits in Dallas, Texas, on May 18. The speech marked his ninth time to stand on stage to speak to NRA leadership and members.
Breitbart News was at the convention as Trump spoke, and noted his observation that it is time for “a great restoration of American freedom.”
Trump noted, “We need the Second Amendment for safety. Forget about going hunting and all the things you do — we need it for safety. Because you know the bad guys are not giving up their guns. The bad ones are not giving up their guns.”

Christmas gift thread! Please read instructions to participate!

Gentlemen, I thought about doing something fun this year for Christmas, I pulled 7 10 11 lucky items out of my collection and I'm going to be giving them away to 7 10 11 lucky Sniper's Hide members! I'll keep trying to add a new gift for each new page added in this thread! If we hit 5 pages, I'll also donate $500 to the Scout Sniper Association (the donation will be from everyone who is participating in this Christmas gift thread)!!!

Here's the thread rules, please read them carefully before posting in this thread:
  • This is not a discussion thread, so please do not deviate from what you're supposed to post here, or you'll be disqualified
  • All you have to do to participate in this thread is make 1 single post with the word "M40" in it
  • Each Sniper's Hide member only gets 1 post in this thread, you will be disqualified if you make multiple posts
  • If you post anything other than the word "M40" in your single post, you will be disqualified (I use quotes around the word "M40" to show you that this is the word to be posted, it doesn't matter if you have quotes around the word "M40" or not. So, posts with either "M40" or M40 are both acceptable)
  • Edited to add - Posting a photo of an M40 along with the word "M40" is also perfectly accessible, just please don't post anything else, since this isn't a discussion thread
  • Only Sniper's Hide accounts created yesterday (Dec. 14, 2023) and prior are able to participate. This is to prevent random people coming to this forum and creating new accounts with the hopes of winning something. It also ensures that only current members of our community are eligible to participate
  • You can enter a single post in this thread at anytime between when I make this first post and midnight (12am Central) on Christmas Eve. Any posts made after this time will be disqualified (I'll do my best to login at that time and make a cutoff post)
  • When you make your single post in this thread, there will be a post number assigned to it by the forum system. This number is your identification number and it will be used in the random number generator
  • The only Sniper's Hide member who is immediately disqualified is TMA (if he's still even on this forum). Guys who hang out in the Vintage Section will understand. Everyone else is welcome to participate (as long as your account was created on or before yesterday, Dec. 14, 2023)
Here's how I'll choose the winners:
  • I'll vett all of the posts and record any disqualifying posts
  • I'll use a random number generator to draw numbers and I'll post the results so that everyone can see the randomly chosen numbers
  • The random number generator will run the entire range of post numbers in this thread
  • The 1st number drawn will win the 1st gift, the 2nd number drawn will win the 2nd gift, etc. and will continue in this order for all 11 gifts
  • I'll have the random number generator choose more than 11 numbers, even though there are only 11 gifts. This is to ensure that I have enough numbers drawn in case any of the numbers link up to a disqualified post. In the event that a number is disqualified, I'll move down the number list to the next number
  • Once the first 11 randomly selected qualifying numbers are matched up with their respective gifts, I'll reach out to the people who made those posts and get their shipping information (no one needs to contact me, I'll contact the winners)
I'm not affiliated with Sniper's Hide in any way, I'm just doing this because I thought that it would be awesome. I'll be the person vetting the entries in this thread and the person drawing the winning post numbers. I started another thread where we can have a discussion about this gift thread, it's also posted in the Vintage Section. Go to that thread to ask questions or make comments about this thread.

To the Mods reading this thread, this is not a sales thread or an attempt to circumvent the buy/sell/trade rules of this forum. This is just a fun thread where I hand out some cool stuff to my fellow community members! No money or anything else will be exchanged, the winners will get their item for free and I'm also paying the shipping/insurance costs to mail these items out. This is 100% free to everyone who participates. Please keep this thread in the Vintage Section, this is where I hangout on the site and I can easily keep an eye on the thread (and the other discussion thread). Please contact me if you have any questions about this thread, and I hope that it doesn't break any forum rules.

Here's the 7 10 11 Christmas gifts, I hope these are things that you guys might enjoy (well, we know that everyone will want the first gift!).

Good luck, everyone!

Barrel contour

I have a remage prefit barrel in 30 nosler from X caliber. Does anyone know of any place that could re contour it and re flute it? I asked X caliber and they will not do it. They also will not produce me another barrel in 30 nosler bc they do not have the reamers and they will not rent them again. I love the barrel it shoots lights out. I ordered a mcgowen in the contour I wanted, but I prefer the X caliber barrel.

Captain's log- it's 12 DEC 2024 and my wife was right...

On kitchen knives.

We bought what I considered an obscenely expensive set of kitchen knives in November. Approaching custom 1911 prices expensive... well dang if I haven't changed my opinion of it being frivolous after using them for the past month or so.

I still think we grossly overpaid but dang if a set of quality kitchen knives don't just punch way above their price point/assumed influence. These things (for a lack of better words) fucking rock.

Anyone else have a similar experience?

Primer pressure vs neck tension

There’s been quite a few discussion about neck tension, neck lube, and some discussion on primer weight sorting too and SD
I have no answers but just questions for the experts here.

Do you suppose that there is a good relationship between getting good SD and neck tension/lube has to do with whether a primer by itself causes enough pressure to dislodge the bullet from the case and enter the rifling? Or by how deep it enters?

Suppose a primer does not always dislodge bullet from the case depending on neck tension, neck crimp, and neck lube. So a lighter hold on the bullet from the neck would result is more likely to dislodge bullet with just the primer, and a stronger neck hold results in more unlikely to dislodge. Then wouldn’t it be a good assumption that a middle strength hold on the neck results in inconsistency in dislodging?

Wouldn’t this inconsistency cause the SD to be higher due to different combustion characteristics?

Then all this discussion around SD in relation to neck tension, lube, crimp, primer weights etc really are trying to find a combo that creates a consistent release?

If so, would a consistent strong neck grip that is stronger than the primer alone can dislodge be about as good as one that consistently allows the release? Or would one be preferable to another? Why?
